Let's say you're a voter who wants to restore "Christian" values to America. Sam Brownback's coddling of genocide victims and bleeding-heart statements of concern for North Korean human rights violation just make him too liberal for your tastes. Where do you go?
Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee seems like a good bet. While Rob Anderson finds his poor knowledge of television evolution objectionable, I am more disgusted by his homophobic slap at Barney Frank ("we've seen our country go ... from Barney Fife to Barney Frank"). Homosexuals in Congress? Soon, they'll demanding that we treat them like humans!
All the extremism of Brownback, without any apparent concern for human rights abroad. What can you say--he fills a niche!
Poor Barney. Back in '95 Dick Armey made Huckabees comment seem downright subtle when, in a press interview, he referred to Barney Fife as "Barney Fag". He later claimed it was a slip of the tongue. To which Barney replied, "No one's ever accidentally called my mother 'Mrs. Fag'."
ReplyDeleteAnother strike against Huckabee: I read in an interview once that he and is wife hated "I <3 Huckabees". They basically hate everything I stand for.
The last post should read "Barney Frank" not "Barney Fife". That Huckabee and his clever wordplay has me tangled in knots.
